Spartacus: Blood and Sand

Is anyone watching this?
I saw the first episode, and aside from Spartacus' naked wife, I was unimpressed. The 300 style battle scenes are dull and the blood is clearly overdone for some sort of effect, but the effect it has on me is boredom.

I watched a bit of the second episode as well, and aside from seeing Xena's still amazing naked tits, I'm also underwhelmed.
